The Port of Tyne Harbour Revision Order 2026
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
9 Casual vacancies
(1) The Secretary of State may fill a casual vacancy in the office of chair by appointing as chair a person who is already a member appointed under article 5(1)(a) or (b) and, if the Secretary of State does so, the appointment is to be deemed to create a casual vacancy in the office of the member who is appointed as the chair. (2) A casual vacancy arising in the office of a member appointed under article 5(1)(a), other than the chair, must, unless it is not reasonably practicable to do so, be filled by the appointment of a member by the Secretary of State in accordance with the requirements of article 5(2) to (5). (3) A casual vacancy arising in the office of a member appointed under article 5(1)(b) must, unless it is not reasonably practicable to do so, be filled by the appointment of a member by the Authority in accordance with the requirements of article 5(2) to (4). (4) A person appointed to fill a casual vacancy under this article, subject to articles 8 (declaration to be made by members) and 10 (removal of members), and paragraph 8 of Schedule 2 (incidental provisions relating to the Authority), holds office for the remainder of the term of the member in whose place that person has been appointed.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
